Through the lens of a talented photographer, even the most haunting, disturbing, and distressing scenes can be made beautiful. But we can’t decide if photographer Brian Tomlinson’s experiments with pouring random stuff into aquariums looks like a modern masterpiece, or just someone blowing chunks.

To his credit, Tomlinson created this setup primarily to capture still photographs of the resulting mixtures, and when frozen in time, the results are hauntingly beautiful. The unsettling videos were captured more to show his process for this photoshoot, and to probably remind you of the morning consequences of an evening spent partying.
